Start working in the last 6 months

Bright & sharp

university

“The transition from school to work was not what I expected”

“ My passion is

to project

structures and

build them in

new ways!!!

Transform the way school-to-work

transition is made and find a win-win zone for Students & Companies

Problem Statement:

1st

Create a platform for sharing ideas, knowledge and

thoughts, both inside schools & companies

(Co-creation Concept)

Prototype

Testing

The stakeholder thinks the idea is interesting and easy to create

Explaining in more detail what kind of inputs each side would make

Who would pay for this platform? Both schools and companies?

Generate real companies challenges inside the platform to offer an internship for the winner

2nd

Surprise students and change lecture rooms into company

working rooms (Bringing real life work closer)

Prototype

Testing

Bringing the working spaces into lecture rooms was very surprising for the interviewer.

Showing in real-time the interviewer the differences between a lecture room and a company working space

Would that help the learning or just improve the transition process from school to work?

Bring reality closer to lecture rooms may not be easy but it is possible and positive for students transition.
